An international conference bringing together businesswomen from the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and Central Asian nations is set to take place in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, on May 28–29. The forum will focus on exploring innovative development pathways for global business and fostering professional networking among female leaders. The event aims to provide a strategic platform for discussing current economic trends and cross-border commercial opportunities.

A highlight of the conference will be the presentation ceremony for the 3rd International "Ladies in Business" Award. This distinction honors the most impactful entrepreneurial projects and personal achievements of women who have demonstrated excellence in various economic sectors. The award serves to highlight the growing role of female leadership in driving regional economic growth and social innovation.

The event is organized through a collaborative effort involving the Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Union of Women of Russia, and the Interregional Association of Women's Business. The forum’s influence has been expanding steadily; last year, it attracted more than 350 delegates from a diverse range of countries, including China, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, the UAE, and various Russian regions.

The upcoming summit is expected to facilitate high-level discussions on digitalization, sustainable business practices, and modern logistics. By providing a space for dialogue between entrepreneurs and policy experts, the forum seeks to strengthen economic integration within the SCO and Central Asian regions. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their ventures and establish new partnerships that transcend national borders.
